The back is carved from a pronouncedly flamed piece of Balkan maple, its subtle yet distinctive pattern adding to the instrument’s character. Paired with a carefully selected Alpine spruce top, the materials work together to produce a balanced, resonant tone. The proportions of the Sgarabotto-inspired model contribute to both playability and refinement, making it a comfortable and rewarding instrument to explore.

Finished with a reddish-amber varnish, the violin glows with warmth, enhancing the natural beauty of the wood. The clean and fresh application of the varnish gives it a luminous depth, allowing the graceful lines of the instrument to shine. The edges and flutes are slightly lighter adding an elegant frame to the outline.

In sound, this violin leans toward warmth and depth, with a smooth, velvety lower register and a clear, singing upper range. Its responsive nature allows for dynamic expression, making it well-suited for a variety of musical settings.
